Hi Sreehari,
your interest is very much appreciated.
If all you need is a name, that seems possible to find someone willing
to mentor you during these 6 months. Just keep in mind that we tend to
be busy but if you can work semi-autonomously that could be doable.
What are your areas of interests? Or parts of OpenCog you would be the
most interested in?

Hi,
I came across opencog through a google search on "open source ai
projects that I can contribute". After going through your website, I now
have developed a keen interest in volunteering to work for you. But the
only thing stopping me is that being a second year masters student in a
University in India, I am required to pursue an internship in an
external organisation for a period of four months starting from now.All
of my fellow batch matches are now interns in various startups in India,
where they will mostly be calling tensorflow, pytorch libraries to do
the already done things. I did not find them interesting at all. In
contrast, the work which you guys are doing seems so original and
cutting edge. I greatly wish to contribute to your work, but the
institute I study has a rule that the in the organisation where I will
be interning, somebody should be supervising. They have also laid down
many other requirements and tasks for this supervisor, most of which
will not be followed by anyone. In essence, they just need a name from
me. Name of a person who is associated with this external org.
I am not making any claims on being an expert in anything. I am nothing
but a beginner in AI. I have until now, coded up some Machine learning
and Deep learning Applications and has now lined my bookshelf with about
ten newly bought books which I will be going through in the coming weeks
to get a through understanding of the theory behind the code. I don't
have many achievements to list out and did not have my education from
the top ten colleges in India.Therefore I will try to sell myself by
declaring that I am possibly suffering from Obsessive Disorder. While
this is having a bad effect on my life, it does have its merits such as
allowing me to say with certainty that once I start getting obsessed
about making a contribution to opencog, I will be contributing like hell.
So, is there any way you can save me from this internship torture, my
institute is inflicting upon me now?
With Regards,
SREEHARI P V
